Just like the stupid gap filling that lead to superstitious diet bans on pork in Jews and Muslims, this exorcism crap most likely stems from humans not understanding thins like seizures due to epilepsy or toxins. Claudius was thought to be "possessed" so the idea of bad spirits possessing someone was not unique to monotheism. Some Buddhist sects believe in bad spirits they call "Nats"(sp).
When I was in Japan, visiting my x wife's family their TV was on, and it had a show with a bunch of people undulating and moaning and whaling. In this case it was a combo of acting and power of suggestion. Same mass hysteria crap that causes Pentecostals to think they can handle snakes and speak in tongues.
